You May Soon Be Able To Charge Your iPhone Wirelessly

Everyone knows how annoying cord chargers can be. Whether they're not long enough to reach your bed or they break apart after becoming your pet's favorite chew toy, cords can be a hassle. Thankfully, all of that could soon become a thing of the past.

According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple is thinking about adding wireless charging to its gadgets as soon as 2017. While wireless charging already exists in the form of charging mats, Apple is looking to take the technology even further. They're planning to develop a way for iPhones to be charged through the air.

That doesn't mean simply roaming around your house will get your iPhone battery back to 100 percent. You'll still have to be a few feet (or inches) away from the charger in order for the device to work. Even so, not being restricted by a cord is pretty liberating, wouldn't you agree?
